“We’re settling into a quieter market as we return to pre-COVID levels in the Edmonton housing market,” says REALTORS® Association of Edmonton Chair Paul Gravelle. “While we’re not seeing significant changes to our average prices from the previous month or even last year, we are seeing an impact on residential sales and the number of listings hitting the market each month. We expect this normalization to continue as we move away from the flurry of pandemic activity and back to a more balanced market.”


Single-family homes averaged 49 days on the market, increasing by five days since last month. Condos averaged 58 days on the market, increasing by three days month-over-month, while duplexes averaged 52 days on the market, increasing by four days as compared to last month. Overall, all residential listings averaged 52 days on the market, increasing by five days month- over-month and a three-day change being recorded from November 2021.
